Were-creature facts and folklore

http://yaiolani.tripod.com/

Looking around the internet I found a website that seems at least someone credible in the fact that it is speculative and is honest about being speculative. It has information on were-creatures in general and on the folklore of shapeshifters (these being the basis of my research into the Beast of Bray Road). I feel that researching the topics that this website has included—modern sightings/information, folklore, medieval history, and things that are largely believed to be true and not true about modern and historical werewolves will be beneficial and largely informative as I continue to gather information and compile my research into a paper and presentation. I think finding this website has given me a better frame of understanding to work with.
